Prior to, and as a condition for Applicant taking possession of the Premises under the Lease, each Applicant shall provide evidence of renters insurance coverage as described below. If any Applicant shall fail to provide evidence of coverage prior to taking possession of the Premises under the Lease, such failure shall be a default under the Lease and Lessor and/or Property Manager shall be entitled to the following remedies:

Hold Applicant liable for lost rent and other financial damages as the Landlord or Property Manager should incur until the property is re-leased.

If any Applicant or Tenant shall fail to maintain renters insurance coverage as required throughout the entire term of the Lease and any renewal or extension, such failure shall be a default under the Lease and shall entitle Property Manager to pursue all remedies under the Lease. Each Applicant and Tenant must secure renter’s insurance from an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Washington.
